Get your regular dose of live chiptunes at the mana bar, with some of Brisbane’s finest chipmuicians.

Slato - Adventures through space and time created from a synchronised gameboy rig that transcends nostalgia to pleasures your ear drums.

Dot.AY - Trying his hardest to make a gameboy sound like a 50 foot mech warrior fighting a dinosaur. Chipbass to shake your fossil.
